What does it mean that Bezos earns $1.9 million an hour? I calculated that this guy can earn $1.9 million even while sleeping. Over the past 10 years, his assets have risen by $167 billion, which averages out to $1.9 million per hour.

So where has all the money gone? Real estate is a necessity—Florida mansions cost $147 million, with 9 acres in Beverly Hills priced at $165 million. There's also space tourism, with Blue Origin directly auctioning off $28 million space tickets. Yachts, sports cars, real estate portfolios... but the most ruthless move is that all of these can be written as investments on tax returns.

Finally, they also took out 1 billion USD to set up a climate fund, doing charity while avoiding taxes. So, it can be said that the way rich people make money is indeed different – your salary is income, while their asset appreciation is an automated harvesting machine.
